I thought I would link up with Fabulous Friday but as you can see... it's not Friday!

Apparently I got distracted and didn't post this but I love the softness of Darcy's fur too much to leave her in the files.

While I wouldn't call today "fabulous" I have certainly had worse. My kiddos are on the mend which means lots of grumping and scrapping but the weather was gorgeous and as soon as we went outside we could feel the angst melting away (well, almost). We crammed all the important activities into our precious outdoor time: riding bikes, swinging, feeding the bunnies fresh grass and drawing with sidewalk chalk. That fresh air and bunny TLC made all the difference in the world- I even feel renewed patience and gentleness (a much needed gift from God) now if it can just last 'till bed time...

It's been a while since I participated in Scavenger Hunt Sunday... so if I find two things that fall under the category of soft do I get extra points? Just kidding, I really enjoyed the hunt this week.

1. One Color

(no photoshop here, I promise! I found this shiny bronze thing on our new back deck)

2. Laundry

I love how it says "energy preferred" -yes please- I would like some energy!

3. Empty

My husband likes this drink a lot. It gives him a little spring in his step but he can drink one
and go straight to sleep, no problem.
I drank one once and it gave me SO much energy,
I felt like I could defeat an army or clean the house from top to bottom in approx. 3 seconds.
So I 'm keeping one on hand in case of a Zombie Apocalypse... or unexpected company... whichever comes first ;)

4. One Dozen

5. Soft

two count them TWO soft and squishy, chubby bunnies! Aren't they adorable?

Over the Holidays I sort of lost track of which day was which, which was really nice because we were just hanging out and doing fun stuff and enjoyable work like eating candy and playing with new toys (it's a rough job but somebody has to do it). Now I'm ready to get back into the swing of things- you know, like getting up early, regular exercise, healthy eating, organized and productive work...except tomorrow is Saturday so that will have to wait 'till Monday!
Anyhoo (that word looks strange and my spell checker doesn't like it but I don't care. much.), yesterday I picked up my camera for the first time all week and took a zillion photos of my Christmas Orchid with my Christmas macro lens, only to find out that not a single one came out sharp. No worries, I'll just have to try again! When the Orchid was exhausted (or maybe that was me) I stepped back and snapped a few with my 85mm. I know it's nothing spectacular but no worries, I'll try that again too! :)
